Hi, I called ABR but it wasn't helpful so asking here :)
I currently have an ABN as a sole trader for my home art business. I also wanted to start doing food delivery jobs as a side hustle for extra income - which requires a sole trader ABN.
I was told on the phone to ABR you can't have more than 1 sole trader ABN and to run them under the same ABN if they have the same structure. But the two business activities are completely unrelated so I don't see how you could run them under the same ABN. They had no other advice to give me.
I assume there a lot of other people out there with side hustle jobs trying to make ends meet that may have encountered this issue. Has anyone found a solution? Do you just run two completely unrelated businesses under one ABN? It seems dodgy....
As an aside, what is the rationale for not allowing more than one sole trader ABN?
